On this week’s episode of Stay Tuned with Preet, “The Merit Trap,” Preet answers listener questions about whether state attorneys general can indict a sitting president, the status of the Senate Judiciary Committee's long-standing “blue slip” policy, and the move by the Department of Justice to take over the defense of President Trump in a defamation suit filed by columnist E. Jean Carroll.
Then, Harvard philosophy professor Michael Sandel joins Preet for a conversation about his new book, “The Tyranny of Merit: What’s Become of the Common Good?” where he explores the corrosive role of meritocracy in the politics of our current moment.
